Good morning, sweet world, and welcome to the No Dunks Podcast presented by FanDuel. It's Friday, January 23rd, 2026. This is The Drop. I'm J.E. Skeets here in the Classic Factory, and alongside me, as always, Tass Mellis. Podcast listeners, this is for you. Next to him. It's my top shot hot boy, Trey Kirby. Ayo. Ayo. And over yonder, making the magic happen, super producer, JD. Hello. There he is. Here we are. Hello to everybody joining us on YouTube. Hit the like button, subscribe. Podcast listeners, five-star ratings and reviews. Fun drop today. Some worst of the week nominees. Oh, yeah. We got Woboy. We got Pick'em. We got Rapid Fire. But we start with what you got. Oh man, I twisted myself into a pretzel to make these what you gots this morning for the guys.
These are pretty wild.
Oh, I got creative with these ones, boys. Let's start with this. The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Rockets 128-122 in overtime last night. But we probably should have never seen the extra period. JD, if you've got it, go ahead and roll it. Because in the final seconds of regulation, Maxie attempted a layup. that's gonna get swatted here off the backboard by Durant. But the ball hit the glass before Katie touched it, which should have resulted in a goaltending call. Of course, because goaltending was not called on the play. I don't know why. It could not be reviewed. And then the refs immediately followed this up with another botched, inadvertent whistle. It was a mess at the end of this game. So just sit on that for one second.
Because we also had the Mavericks beating the Warriors, winning their fourth consecutive game. Good stuff from them. But the Dubs were up one midway through the fourth quarter when Draymond Green... He went crazy. He was called for a flagrant foul. Less than a minute later, another foul by Green. That was reviewed.
What did Joel Embiid do to round into form against the Rockets?
It wasn't called a flagrant, but he sort of just went crazy. Got a lot of fouls. Fouled out of the game. He had four points, three turnovers. And what was a close game suddenly, you know, ballooned into the Mavericks going on an 11-0 run and the Warriors lose. So what was the worst performance? from last night. The Rockets 76ers refereeing or Draymond Green? Tass Mellis, what you got? I got Draymond Green. I'm not going to start by defending the referees. I'll do that in a few minutes because I don't want to start with that. Let's just talk about Draymond Green hitting people because he's too slow now. I mean, that's what it came down to. He was. He's literally just unable to keep up with the foot speed of anybody around him.
So he's hitting people and you could see it in Steph's face I am sad. He's literally not feeling good.
What was the controversy surrounding the missed goaltending call?
Maybe it's because of the brown town jerseys they're wearing. No, it's just because there's no Jimmy Butler. They're trying to start Brandon Pajemski in Jimmy's place since he went down. And Brandon Pajemski. I mean, you could be sad about that. He missed so many layups. I think it's three little literal layups. Just put D'Anthony Melton into that starting lineup already. That guy is king. He is so good right now. And then we'll get to a Jonathan Kaminga injury. So I just think that whole thing, that whole thing is far worse than what the referees did or didn't do by not calling that goaltend. That may be true. The Sixers went on to win, like I said. So there was that. Yes, karmic justice. It's just weird because they always call that a goaltend so they can go and look at it.
And suddenly they decide, John Goble and his team, like, nah, we didn't think it was a goaltend, so play on. Let me defend it. Let me defend it one second. Because Tyrese Maxey takes it to the glass, and you know that he is literally trying to get it to the glass as fast as possible or for sure. He doesn't let go of the ball. It's one of those, I'm getting it to the glass, literally his hand hits the glass. And to defend the referees, I don't know how they don't call it, but you don't see him release the ball. Is that part of it where it literally doesn't come out of his hand?
